<p>Hello,

<p>FY or Transfer: are you applying for your First Year of college or are you Transferring from another college? (I’d assume that you’re First Year) </p>

<p>You might want to try again and just not put down a ZIP if your not in the US/Canada, just like you wouldn’t put down a state/province.</p>

<p>If you have never taken any college courses you are a Freshman - FY</p>

<p>If you have any college credits, you are a Transfer Student. </p>

<p>When you are completing the registration on the Common Application, try selecting your country before adding other address information.</p>
